REVIEW: CB-Forever Again by Shannon Stacey

JayneB Reviews Category / Book Reviews / EbooksContemporary / Shannon Stacey4 Comments

Dear. Ms. Stacey, There is a lot to like about Forever Again. I enjoyed how Gena, the heroine, has progressed in her life. She made a mistake when young but has not let it keep her from achieving her business degree and starting a successful career. She’s also not let ... more >

JayneB Reviews Category / Book Reviews19th century / Italy / mystery9 Comments

Dear Readers, This was Ross’s last book before her untimely, early death and it’s one of her best.

REVIEW: CB-Brand Name Dates by Melani Blazer

Dear. Ms. Blazer, I like a lot about Brand Name Dates yet at times I wanted to scream with frustration. I’ve had a hard time coming up with a final grade and might still flip-flop a bit more. You’ve got the classic elements of Chick Lit – first person narrative, ... more >
